| dc.description | Windows and stairwell over back entrance porch of number 3, northeast corner next to walkway dividing the two blocks; Designed by Rietveld together with Madame Schröder (G. (Truus) Schröder-Schrader, 1889-1985), these housing blocks have a steel frame structure, wooden floors and brick party walls. In the four dwellings (including number 9) on Erasmuslaan the living room may be subdivided into smaller spaces using sliding partitions. The 2-unit block (numbers 1-3, built in 1934) on the corner with Prins Hendriklaan has its bedrooms on a mezzanine shared by upper and lower units. With these dwellings Rietveld seems to have become fully converted to functionalism. Schröder and Rietveld originally used Erasmuslaan 9 as a model home, and to showcase Rietveld's furniture. They have been restored as residences, with Erasmuslaan 9 now doing duty as a museum house. Using a photograph that was taken in 1931, the Centraal Museum reconstructed the interior with replicated and original furniture.
